    mate, don't sweat the responses...

    i don't smoke
    or drink
    or go out much...

    doesn't mean I have no life...

    instead i spend money on other stuff like audio visual gear, cars..chilling with my wife on the PS3, etc...watch martial movies.....(if anyone is into martial movies, IP MAN with donnie yen is pretty good)

    each to their own....everyone has different interests....

    as long as everyone has enough to get themselves by in this difficult time, that is the most important...

      I've tried that. It doesn't work for me. To my mind there's no point being filthy rich if I can't share it with someone.
      You could have always bought a dog. Or a cat.

                I'm no expert but that is when a scan is usually done.

                Try not to worry about the finances too much and look after the missus.

                  Will try not to We have a very strong family unit so if the tulip hit the fan we always have people who would be willing to help

                  Anyway, sorry for changing the direction of the thread

                    Nothing, since February. Before that, quite a good rate but mitigated by various factors such as divorce, new family, age (==> max 10-year mortgage) and travelling expenses.
